    Innovation Inspiration Walk

    Thursday 29 October 2026

    Route: Boston Manor Park to Brentford

    Trade the boardroom for the Golden Mile: join the second of our half-day guided walks this year and spark your team's creativity where urban innovation meets natural green spaces in the 'Brent' area of Golden Mile London. As part of a series of B2B events celebrating the official launch of Golden Mile London this year alongside the Digital Creative Network West, West London Business is arranging a two-part series of coordinated walks. 

    The Route

    Boston Manor House to Brentford Town Centre via the Grand Union Canal 

    This will be a fantastic walking beginning in lush green historic spaces before making our way towards the Golden Mile, visiting key businesses and academic institutions along the route at the University of West London, 980 Great West Road and JCDecaux's iconic buildings. We will then return to green and blue spaces via the Canal as we head down towards Brentford town centre, concluding the morning walk with lunch at The Weir, an iconic Brentford establishment which has recently been awarded a blue plaque for its links to the English artist William Turner. 

    Given the nature of this event, we would recommend wearing comfortable outdoors walking shoes and clothing suitable for the weather on the day. It may be chilly along the canal, so please dress accordingly. 

    You can find the proposed route mapped on Footpath here.

     

    Our Guide: Garry Pratt

    The half day guided walk will be led by expert facilitator Garry Pratt, a practitioner of cognitive rewilding. In his own words:

    "Founders, investors, leaders, creatives and the inquisitive often come to me because their thinking has become crowded, accelerated, and fragmented.

    Modern life is extraordinarily effective at producing activity and increasingly poor at producing clarity.

    My work sits at the intersection of nature, attention, and thinking. I design immersive journeys in natural landscapes that restore the conditions under which clear perception and original thought emerge."
